The team was assembled during the Cold War, started in America as a way to contend with Russia. It was originally referred to as the Snake Unit, as a snake was seen as a slithering, stealthy creature. It began by rescuing prisoners from Russia, Cuba, and other such locations with stealth missions, and then using techniques such as the skyhook to rescue. If an operative was captured, they killed themselves with an explosive device to destroy all evidence.
Over time, as the Cold War ended, Russia became involved and provided technology and agents. The UK began to see the benefit in such a program as well, even though it was believed that the time of espionage was at its end. However, the program was kept around for the sake of wars yet to come, albeit on a smaller budget.
During the various wars since the Cold War, the team has done what it could to rescue prisoners of war and important people. They performed sabotage missions as well, but their primary duty was rescue operations. Some saw the need to use these stealth agents as assassins, but as the wars became less clear - such as Iraq - that need started to vanish, without a clear target in mind.
In 2010 the team was brought under new management, as this official was elected by both the Japanese and European branches involvements. The Americans and Russians had no suitable replacement, and weren't interested in playing politics, as those involved with this unit weren't bound to the government, and could actually see the need for competent leadership, even if not one of their own.
The team was renamed when five suits were developed for deployment. The Special Operations Team: Five Rangers became as much a stealth and espionage unit as it was now a combat unit to be deployed behind enemy lines, and be used as an international combat unit, outfitted with technology befitting stealth operations, as well as combat.
